Beschreibung
Imagine waking up one day and realizing that everything you thought you knew about the world – literally the world – might not be true.
The Earth, that trusty old spinning marble we call home, isn’t a sphere at all. No, according to some, it is flat as a pancake (or a pizza, if we’re being generous). Planes are flying in carefully orchestrated circles, horizons are playing optical tricks on our eyes, and astronauts are really just actors with good CGI.
Sounds like the plot of a new sci-fi blockbuster, right? Yet for thousands of people, this is reality – or at least their version of it.
The Flat Earth phenomenon isn’t new. It has ancient roots, woven into the cosmologies of civilizations long past. But what’s fascinating is how, in a time when we can send rovers to Mars, carry pocket supercomputers, and live-stream cat videos from space stations, this belief has not only persisted but thrived.
Why? That’s the question that inspired this book.
Piet Henry Records –
With this audiobook, Skyler Bosse and Margaret Cristell take a curious and analytical look at one of the most unusual belief systems of our time. The topic is approached with a mix of fascination and critical distance, inviting listeners to explore not just the claims themselves, but the reasons behind them.
Skyler Bosse presents the subject in an engaging and thought-provoking way. Rather than simply judging, the narrative examines how and why such ideas emerge and persist, even in a highly technological world. This creates a listening experience that is both entertaining and intellectually stimulating.
Margaret Cristell delivers the content with a clear and composed narration. Her voice provides structure and balance, allowing the listener to follow the arguments and reflections with ease. She maintains a steady tone that supports the investigative nature of the audiobook.
We thank both for the collaboration and are pleased to publish this audiobook. We wish it much success and many curious listeners.
